Jeremiah 37:5-10

5At this time the army of Pharaoh Hophra of Egypt appeared at the southern border of Judah. When the Babylonian army heard about it, they withdrew from their siege of Jerusalem.

6Then the Lord gave this message to Jeremiah:

7“This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: The king of Judah sent you to ask me what is going to happen. Tell him, ‘Pharaoh’s army is about to return to Egypt, though he came here to help you.

8Then the Babylonians will come back and capture this city and burn it to the ground.’

9“This is what the Lord says: Do not fool yourselves into thinking that the Babylonians are gone for good. They aren’t!

10Even if you were to destroy the entire Babylonian army, leaving only a handful of wounded survivors, they would still stagger from their tents and burn this city to the ground!”
